How to embed windows app into labview frontpanel

[p.w]

how can i integrate any open Windows appication in a labview frontpanel. In the attached vi it opens calc and brings to front. But i would like it to be on the labview frontpanel.

1. Never use a Stacked Sequence Structure!
2. (Almost) never use an "ordinary" Sequence Structure -- the Error Line is in (most) LabVIEW Functions for a purpose -- use it to sequence your code.
3. Have you tried running Calc in a sub-Panel?  It's not clear why you are doing this ...

Hello preeliz

some ideas for this

Embedding/Hosting .NET UI Controls on a LabVIEW Front Panel

Windows has Parent and Child functions that can allow for a window inside a window.  I wrote some demo code a while ago on how to embed Notepad in the front panel of a VI.  This was part of some code I posted on LAVA on the Multi Panel Interface which creates a dynamic number of things on a front panel that can be running and updated independently.
